Used Asrock Extreme4 and Hyper 212 for $30, worth it?

I currently have a P8Z77-V LK which is a real bad mobo and I don't know why I bought it. It looks ugly, it doesn't have SLi support, and the SATA connectors aren't right angle. I also use a stock cooler on my 3570K. A good friend of mine is upgrading and downsizing to mATX and he said he will sell me both his old Asrock Extreme4 and his Hyper 212 for $30 (Both are 1 year old). I'm definitely thinking yes because it is a significant upgrade from what I have now and it is a very good deal, but I just want to get others opinions.

Thanks.

I own the Z77 Extreme4. I love it. :P If only the brown PCB were slightly darker, it would be perfect for me.

Dude, 30 bucks for a decent heatsink, AND A FREE MOBO! lol. that is basically what that sounds like to me!

Well worth it as long as your friend is willing to help you out on RMA if the mobo ever has an issue and needs to be returned.

He is basicly paying you 60 bucks to take it from him. When you buy it, bury your head in a sand and sing him songs of gratitude.

As long as it works, yes.

And crossfire, And UEFI bios that makes everything related to CPU overclocking easy as pie, along with pleasing aesthetics.

 

(And no i am not paid by Asrock to say this lol)

The Asrock Extreme4 is a very capable board indeed and that Hyper 212 will serve you well if you don't already own a decent CPU cooler. For 30$ this is an insane deal. Go for it, I bet you won't be disappointed!

My mistake, I typo on my part, I have the LX version. My apologies, but my board has none of those features you named. I remember seeing the LK when I bought my board and thinking, "It's the same thing as the LX but it is $10 more expensive." If I only knew, I definitely would've gotten that one.

In that case, get the LK then. Or just buy a new Hyper 212 EVO and OC on that board. There won't be a massive difference.

No no, you misunderstand. This was 6 months ago when I first built now my computer. Now my friend is offering his Asrock Extreme4 to me for $30 as well as the Hyper 212 for free and I will be taking this deal from him.
